I'll try the workaround, but this really needs to be fixed. Aptitude works from the command line. Why is update-manager reinventing the wheel in the first place? Why not let aptitude do what it's good at?

Use case:
I have satellite internet with an inadequate bandwidth quota. I have two machines to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. If I can't use apt-cacher, I'll have to wait a month between upgrades. And Hardy fixes several Gutsy bugs that are really annoying.
